The S&F system was improved within 8.3. Are there any further information about the concept or the effect?  
Also the setting pages changed which looks quite promising :). But what is the primary store and the secondary store. Is it memory and disk?

Just upgraded to 8.3 and am wondering the exact same thing, and also assuming Primary = Memory, and Secondary = Disk. Did you confirm this?

Primary is memory, secondary is on-disk via SQLite, rather than HSQLDB as was used in prior Ignition versions. It's also not a single "pipeline" for all S+F data to go through - it's split by each type of data, so the data storage and maintenance tasks don't interfere with each other across data types.
